Episode 345: Mark Adams
b"Mark Adams is the author of Mr. America and Turn Right at Machu Picchu. His latest book is Tip of the Iceberg: My 3,000-Mile Journey Around Wild Alaska, the Last Great American Frontier.\\n\\n\\u201cIt\\u2019s always sheer and utter panic the whole time I\\u2019m on the road. I never sleep more than like three or four hours a night when I\\u2019m on the road because I wake up at 4:00 in the morning and I\\u2019m like, Who am I going to talk to today? I don\\u2019t have anything scheduled for today. What am I going to do? Sometimes things work out for that day and sometimes they don\\u2019t. I think when you start to lose that feeling \\u2014 that tense feeling, that pit in your stomach \\u2014 then the work starts to lose something as well.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n@markcadams\\n\\n\\n[00:35] Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time (Dutton \\u2022 2012)\\n\\n\\n[00:43] Tip of the Iceberg: My 3,000-Mile Journey Around Wild Alaska, the Last Great American Frontier (Dutton \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[06:28] Mr. America (It Books \\u2022 2010)\\n\\n\\n[19:20] Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers (Tom Wolfe \\u2022 Picador \\u2022 2009)\\n\\n\\n[21:52] Letters to a Young Writer (Colum McCann \\u2022 Bloomsbury \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[24:40] Adams\\u2019 Men\\u2019s Journal archive\\n\\n\\n[28:18] Into the Wild (Jon Krakauer \\u2022 Anchor Books \\u2022 1997)\\n\\n\\n[28:44] Inside Maya 5 (Mark Adams, Erick Miller, Max Simms \\u2022 New Riders Press \\u2022 2003)\\n\\n\\n[36:14] The Dinosaur Artist: Obsession, Betrayal, and the Quest for Earth's Ultimate Trophy (Paige Williams \\u2022 Hachettte Books \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[39:10] The Fifth Risk (Michael Lewis \\u2022 W.
